The day has come

Oh Google Images, you are too much!
Well as avid followers of my sidebar may already know I finally found an 081 on a license plate! Joy! Come and celebrate with me!
Another thing to celebrate is the fantastic luck I had garage saling on Saturday. Corey was looking for some cheap bicycles so I joined him as Navigator through the maze of Calgary Garage Sales. I always look for books and board games. One game in particular is called Full House. We played it growing up. In the game you are a hotel owner and the point of the game is to have guests stay at your house and make the most money the quickest. It's really straightforward and easy which for some reason adds to the game rather than detracts from it. Parker Brothers stopped making it so it can only be found second hand. I have been hoping to find it at a Garage Sale, but honestly never really expected to. Well, on Saturday I found it! It was in excellent condition too, with a working people-popper and everything! I got it for 2 dollars! The lady was a little miffed when she realized she could have charged a lot more for a rare game. We played the inaugural game at Corey and Wendy's house with Mal and Gin.
Saturday morning also involved going to the driving range for the first time this season. I am looking forward to golfing this year. Maybe I can finally correct my slice.

Final Summation

Well, it was do or die this weekend for the Flames. Unfortunately they chose the latter option. Considering how I felt last year when they lost out, it doesn't bother me too much. I think that the better team won. Detroit out-played Calgary in almost every aspect of the series. The fact that Calgary did as well as they did at home was impressive. Let's not discuss their road play though.
I am somewhat disappointed that the playoff season is over already. (I know, I know, it's not over but when the Flames are out I lose some interest.) It's my favorite time of year, except maybe Christmas. I really enjoy going out with friends to watch the game at a pub, like Corey and I and our friend Lakin did Thursday. It also is a little disappointing that the Flames are not as good on the ice as they should be on paper.
Well, that's probably it for hockey posts. Back to real life.

Anxious Again

Well, game 2 was a stinker. But they redeemed themselves in game 3! I am excited for tomorrow.
So, what is happening in my life other than hockey-watching.... Not too much. Kris and I are thinking of baby names. It seems to me it is harder than you would think. A name is a powerful thing. Not to mention you don't want to give you child a name that will induce teasing.
Things are a little more relaxed at work now. That's good cause the amount of things I need to do at home keeps going up. They include finishing my APEGGA application, looking for a new place to live, remembering that I should be exercising regularly, eating healthy, going through that stack of mail to file/pay bills.... In all honesty it's not like I am that busy, especially compared to how busy I expect to be later, but I am definitely in procrastinating mode.

Pre-game show

Much to my wife's chagrin I think that a good deal of the upcoming posts may be about hockey. I am nervously anticipating Game 2 of Flames vs Red Wings. I think the whole series will hinge on this game. Go Flames!

Tiredness

Hello.
Sorry for no posts. I've been feeling pretty exhausted from work lately and writing posts takes emotional energy I just don't have. It's weird, I know. Here's a quick summary:
Easter was very good.
Playoffs are here.
My head hurts.

I'm also sorry for not responding to people's congratulations emails. See lame excuse above.
